Q: Hi 5i:
Any recent news on Gildan, other than the resignation of a Director? He went to UnderArmour I think, so that should not cause any sudden drops in the stock.

Q: Hi. Thanks for your invaluable advice. Can you indicate what the financial implications are of Callidus Capital's announcement today that they are considering establishing a private fund?

Q: I have positions in bep.un,aqn,fts, and rnw. I am considering switching my small position in rnw for npi. Which has the better growth profile and safety for a 2 to 3 year hold and would you recommend this move? Thanx.
Q: I currently own both of these companies. I'm planning on adding to one. Which would be your first choice for a long term hold {3 to 5 years} balancing some safety with reasonable growth.
Thanks Valter

Q: I noticed that WEF (Western Forest Products) hit a new 52 week high on fairly significant volume. This even comes after news of increased US tariffs on Canadian lumber. I haven't been a shareholder in WEF in years as I grew frustrated with it being stuck in a trading range for a long time. Is this the opportunity to jump back in?

Q: Re Jim's question 26th June about his daughter's RSP & TFSA.
Don't think she can get the dividend tax credit if shares are held in these accounts. Did I miss something?

Q: My 36 yr old daughter has a current portfolio of $150k in RSPs and her TFSA. She is interested in enrolling in 6 true company DRIPs that she would start with approximately $5,000 each and contribute to over time. Her intent would be to keep these shares to ultimately use the dividends for retirement income in 20-30 years. In the meantime, the dividend tax credit would be useful offsetting the income earned. Is this a good strategy and if so can you suggest 6-8 companies that she might consider for this purpose? Thank you for your help. Jim
Q: Hi 5i: I bought MG and MRE about 6 months ago. MG is now down a little and MRE is up over 30%. I know that both have interests in Europe, and that MRE went through a rough patch with management issues, as well as some plant problems, both now behind them. Does this explain the recent difference, or is there some other explanation? The news on the auto parts sector is not particularly rosy, and I've been thinking about a switch to some other sector. What do you think? Sell both, sell one (which one?) or just hold tight? I'd appreciate your advice.
